When I started my first job in the steel industry (back then we still had a huge steel industry in Sheffield) I worked in the 'destructive testing laboratory' of Edgar Allen Forgings, Castings Division. I received the princely salary of £20 per calendar month and spent one day per month at Rotherham College of Arts & Technology studying metallurgy. After all these years I can no longer recall anything I learned on that course, but I've picked up far more from experience and experimentation during the intervening decades. Oddly my practical knowledge wouldn't help me find a job, but the formal qualifications would!
I think that's what the OP should be aiming for.
